Answer · The Son of God

Who was Jesus praying to?

The incarnate Son lived a real human relationship to God.

Direct answer

The man Christ Jesus prayed to the eternal God who was his Father and who also dwelt in him.

A real human relationship

As man, Jesus possessed a human will, human consciousness, and genuine dependence. His prayers were not staged conversations.

One God remained indivisible

The Father was not absent from Christ while receiving Christ's prayers. Jesus said the Father was in him doing the works.

Key Scriptures

Luke 22:42Jesus expresses a real human will in perfect submission to God.John 14:10Jesus identifies the Father dwelling in him as the source of the works.Hebrews 5:7Jesus' prayers arise from the days of his flesh and genuine human experience.
